5G Hybrid 3.5 HELP

[wfa_95]

I'm having trouble installing this, but have no idea why so I will try to be as specific as possible.

I downloaded the Hybrid 3.5 firmware for my iPod video 5G, plugged in my iPod, and opened iPodWizard v 1.3.0.7.

I loaded the file and clicked open firmware but a pop-up window appeared saying that editing this block of strings is risky and should be done by experts. I clicked okay and clicked write to iPod but got another pop up saying Error Writing Firmware! Code # -1, 22, 22926353.

What could be the problem?


One thing that I noticed while trying to open the firmware:
After clicking okay in the "editing this block of strings" pop up, the index drop down menu in the picture section does not open. That may not have any significance but I figured it was worth mentioning


Oh, and I'm sure that I have a 5G, there's no search feature to be found

try it again. sometimes ipodwizard fucks up. and if you are using vista then make sure your running it as an administrator. +rep is that helped u

I just tried it again with similar results, except now after I click okay in the "experts" message the programs freezes/goes into not responding mode.

I found a tip elsewhere in the forums to try different USB ports, but all of them gave me the same result.


Some of the themes I have downloaded saved as folders while others are only one file. This one came as a file, so I don't have the option of writing the fonts, images, and resources separately. Maybe this could lead to a solution...?

if they are one file then its a binary. and you just click load firmware file from the dropdown box on the top left. and find the file. and click write to ipod.

are you use you're not loading a rar file, coz that might be it. you have to extract it first.

[wfa_95]

Yeah it was a .rar file. It worked like a charm after i downloaded a free extractor.
Thanks for all the help.
